Research direction
Start with EditorServicesConsolePSHostUserInterface.cs at the linked ReadLine implementation and trace how host options are configured.

Suggested Fix
Add a -UseUnderlyingHostReadline switch and change the following code:
To call _underlyingHostUI.ReadLine() if -UseUnderlyingHostReadline is specified
